Located on the former territory of the Treveri tribe, the town of Arlon (formerly known as Orolaunum vicus) is situated at the confluence of two important Roman roads (Reims-Trier and Metz-Tongeren), which enabled the ancient settlement to enjoy a certain degree of prosperity during the first three centuries of our era. Various excavation campaigns carried out throughout the province of Luxembourg have unearthed remains that bear witness to a rich culture. Thanks to all these discoveries, the Arlon Archaeological Museum has a rich and impressive collection of stone artefacts, comprising dozens of fragments of ancient funerary monuments.
